Family favorite:
Glazed donuts: Sunny asked, “Can I have these instead of cake for my birthday next time?”
I highly recommend making apple fritters with the donut dough scraps. Mel has instructions included in the linked glazed donut post. Then add some instant coffee or espresso granules to the donut glaze, and prepare to be amazed.

Amy’s favorite:
Blackened Salmon in Creamy Cajun Sauce
Tamara WidmerMaking both of these! We just made donuts and they were OK but didn’t blow me away. These look great. Do you use all all purpose flour or fresh milled?
AmyI used unbleached white flour (regular). If I’m making them for breakfast, not a treat, I’d use half fresh milled and then the baked donut recipe https://www.melskitchencafe.com/baked-doughnuts/
JamieHow does your picture look exactly like the actual recipe? Wow! And I can’t find the donut link. Am I missing it?
AmySorry about that Jamie – I updated the link. And the picture is from Mel’s … with the actual link to Mels …. look under the week #3 recap for pictures of how our donuts turned out. Not quite as perfect, but quite tasty 😉 Highly recommend. ( I fried in a mixture of ghee and avocado oil in an electric skillet at 360 )
